I didn't. I will make the packages tomorrow at my job on a fresh installed 
Mandrake 10.0, with the spec file included in the source, and I will tell you 
the result. I made the 0.96 ones with the same spec file, and I had no 
problems.

You got the error '/home/schmoe/RPM/tmp/gambas-0.97-1rk-buildroot/usr/bin/gbi: 
invalid option -- r', which is a valid option for the gbi program that is 
provided with gambas-0.97. This option was added to gbi in gambas-0.96. A bit 
strange...
